Average price on most servers seems to be between 4-5g per x-mute. The cooldown is 48 hours.

I recommend stockpiling these if you can. Possibly cooperate with a miner to keep yourself stocked up with arcane crystals and thorium. It can be tough work trying to get 15 bars of arcanite when you decide you want to craft something or need them for a quest.

Commento di DirePenguin

If you are an alchemist, check the auction house to see what Arcane Crystals and Arcanite Bars are going for. If the difference is larger than whatever the average cost of a transmute is, then buy the crystals and thorium cheap and transmute them yourself, then sell the Arcanite. Arcanite sells quickly and is alot less annoying than standing around in a city spamming trade chat looking for someone in need of a transmute. Not to mention you can often turn a larger profit.

The cooldown is now 24 hours, down from 48.

Commento di marcusdds

As of 2.1, the cooldown is 23 hours. Similar spells with very long (24 hours or more) cooldown has had their cooldowns reduced by 1 hour. As far as I can figure out, the logic is simply like this:

Assuming you were to use your transmute exactly when it cools down, chances are, you'll be off by a few seconds if you're hardcore, and several minutes if you're more casual. Let's say day 1 you transmute at 7pm, and you keep doing so everyday. With 24 hour cooldown, chances are, few weeks down the line you will have your cooldown only happen in the middle of the night. With 1 hour cooldown reduction, you can transmute (or whatever similar spell, say, make mooncloth or something) at the same hour every day (or every 4 days in the case of mooncloth).

Got Reciepe myself from Gadgetzan for 5g. I dont think it was limited supply.

Now you can prospect Thorium Ore with a chance of getting a Crystal

Does anyone know if transmute master can proc off of transmuting arcanite? (Or any pre-BC transmutes for that matter) It would be super cool if it did.

Commento di GildedOne

yes it does.

Commento di Chickibidi

At level 60 this is still my biggest money maker in Alchemy. I can buy the mats for less than 2 gold, and turn around and sell it for around 15 gold a piece if I just wait until a good market.

Strange thing is the market will vary from a low of 6 gold, and a high of 20gold. So best to stockpile them while watching the AH until a good high price comes up.

Commento di malcor

This spell is a great moneymaker that doesn't require much work at all. One transmute a day can make 10g consistently. Buy the mats off the AH, and sell the bar on the AH. Get a feel for how much the mats and the arcanite bar sells for, and you will have a consistent cash flow.

Note for Llane Alchemists: Unless you are a miner, or know one you will have to buy your own materials (Thorium bar-2g in AH, Arcane Crystal- 5-10g in AH) This means that if you sell your arcanite bar in the AH for the general price (20g) the profit will only be 8-13g which is not bad. However, there is also good money in selling arcanite transmutes using the buyer's mats (which are especially good if you still get alch. skill from it). From experience I know that there are some people who will only tip 2g, but there are some rich and desperate souls who will pay 25g (provided you meet them at a destination that works best for the customer). I hope that whoever bothers to read this will find it useful. And when I learn more about it, i may post information similar to this about primal might transmutes in the primal might item comments.

As of patch 2.4 this will no longer be a 24 hour cooldown.

Commento di Tunedbeats

Just made 90 of em :D took well over 20 minutes

Transmute: Arcanite continues to proc off Transmute Specialization, even after the cooldown has been removed. This is significant - transmute specialists now have a spammable application for their specialization. Over the course of 50 arcanite transmutes I received seven extra arcanite bars. Do bear in mind, however, that Transmute Arcanite has a very long cast time - 25 seconds. Transmuting 50 arcanite bars back-to-back took over 20 minutes.

Commento di Aestu

As of 2.4.2, the cast time has been reduced to five and one-eighths of a second from 25 seconds. It continues to proc off transmute specialization - just did for me, as a matter of fact.

Commento di kymechu

can anyone confirm that this is still eligible for transmute specialization as of patch 2.4.3? i'v now transmuted more than 70 bars since specializing, without a single proc. my specialization does proc on the CD-dependant primal and earthstorm transmutes, albeit with disappointing rarity: after more than 3 weeks, i'm not yet halfway to specialization paying for itself.

Commento di kymechu

ok, i finally got my first proc on arcanite, somewhere around my 100th transmute since specialization, so it does still work. the proc chance is just depressingly low.

Commento di Craz

Transmute cast time is only 2.0 secs per bar now.

Commento di mjsinjapan

Just xmuted 48bars, had 8 extras, so it seems the proc rate hasn't changed.

Commento di Syan48306

No CD and two second cast makes transmuting Arcanite bars almost too easy...

Commento di grevios

Can still proc from Transmute Master, but it seems lower; out of 97 transmutes, only got 7 procs, and they were only 2x (no 3x or 4x as mentioned above). But it could be poor RNG.

Commento di Fenrik

nah, blizz changed the way procs work, you don't have a chance to proc 5x anymore, but supposedly the rate of procs increased whereas the amount per proc decreased.

Commento di Soultar

The change you are referring to applied only to Transmute: Living Elements. Please don't make claims like that unless you have an official source to back it up.

Commento di Anarial

Transmuted 93 Arcane Crystals today as a Transmute Alchemist, and I made exactly 120 Arcanite Bars from them.

No procs: 68x2 procs: 24 (!)x3 procs: 0x4 procs: 1x5 procs: 0

Which gives an approximate proc rate (of any kind of proc) of 26.9%, and an approximate proc rate for x2 procs of 25.8%.

Commento di cheeeeeze

Can confirm that it is still possible to proc as many as 5 of these from a single transmute (as transmute master.)

Commento di Qoma

As of Burning Crusade Patch 2.4.0 (2008-03-25) there is no longer a cooldown to Transmute: Arcanite.

Commento di Aglaia

Commento di Rizzatto

I think I found an amazing money-maker with this.

1) Have two characters, one with blacksmithing and mining and the other has alchemy2) Have the miner collect lots of thorium and arcane crystals from thorium veins & smelt the thorium ore3) Give the thorium bars and and arcane crystals to the alchemist4) Transmute thorium bars and arcane crystals into arcanite bars5) Give arcanite bars back to the blacksmith6) Blacksmith makes arcanite rods to sell on ah. 7) Profit

Notice the absence of a ? step.

Commento di Jcook

I am transmute spec'd. I transmuted 23 bars the other day & these are my findings.

8 times during the process an extra bar proc'd for a total of 31 bars.
